Tawana Brawley was a useful hoax for those with investments in racial turmoil. Lies about the history of gun control are useful to those promoting the circumvention of our Bill of Rights. Lies are useful to liberals. That is why they lie profusely and promote the lies that appear useful to any cause they may pursue.
Another hate-crime hoax? The left tells stories too bad to be true | Rare
We thought we knew this tragic story.
It was late and Matthew Shepard, a young gay college student in Wyoming, needed a ride home. He left the Fireside Lounge with two strangers who offered a lift. Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were not Good Samaritans, however. They took Shepard to a remote outskirt of Laramie, tied him to a fence post and pistol-whipped him so many times that the cyclist who found him the next day mistook him for a scarecrow.
....
In 2000, Stephen Jimenez — an award-winning gay journalist — went to Laramie to research a screenplay he wanted to write about this incident. But when he got there, he realized the Shepard story was not a clear-cut case of violent bigotry. After interviewing more than 100 sources over the course of thirteen years, he realized a very different truth: Shepard’s murders weren’t strangers who killed him because of homophobic panic. In fact, they were his gay lovers.
Jimenez’s new book, “The Book of Matt,” posits the true circumstances of Shepard’s brutal murder involved drugs and sex — not rampant homophobia.
....
In other words, the left doesn’t mind deception, if the deception exists for “valuable reasons.”
The Matthew Shepard story may now end up as one of a long line of leftist fabrications — fabrications that existed for the sake of an allegedly higher cause. Austin Ruse notes that Roe v. Wade rested on lies. For that matter, so did Lawrence v. Texas, the case that established a constitutional right to sodomy.
It is telling that many of the left’s greatest cultural accomplishments are built on hoaxes. The oppressive America they claim exists simply had to be made up. The reality was far too benign to fit the “No justice! No peace!” paradigm that motivates the leftist masses and their willing allies in the media.
In the cases of Roe, and Lawrence and Matthew Shepard, the cultural damage has already been done. But now citizens are on notice.
Beware when the left tells stories that seem too bad to be true.
